Civic authorities in Gurgaon and Faridabad said their disaster response units are on alert, with a focus on managing high-traffic corridors and low-lying neighbourhoods. "We are monitoring hotspots where water accumulation is a concern. Teams are ready with pumps and tree cutters in case of emergencies," a district official in Gurgaon said.
The IMD has linked the current activity to an active monsoon phase spreading across north India.
Light to moderate showers are likely to continue across parts of Haryana, Delhi NCR, and western UP over the next 48 hours, with the possibility of intense spells in isolated locations.
While rain is expected to bring in temporary relief from heat and humidity, it is also expected to test urban infrastructure in several rapidly growing cities across the state.
Meanwhile, several parts of Delhi were hit by an intense spell of rain on Sunday evening, accompanied by strong winds reaching speeds of up to 57 kmph. While light to moderate rain is expected on Monday, the weather department has forecast scattered rain activity to continue for a week starting Tuesday. However, there is no colour-coded weather warning issued for the upcoming days.
The maximum temperature was recorded at 34.8 degrees Celsius, one degree below normal, on Sunday. The minimum temperature settled at 25.1 degrees Celsius, two notches below normal.

18 survive speedboat capsizing in Indonesia's Mentawai Islands
18 survive speedboat capsizing in Indonesia's Mentawai Islands (Image: AP) PADANG: Residents of Indonesia's Mentawai Islands found several people stranded on Monday after a speedboat carrying 18 people capsized during a storm the day before, authorities said. All were in good condition. The boat, carrying mostly local administration officials, capsized while on its regular two-hour journey from Sikakap, a town in the Mentawai Islands district in West Sumatra, to the town of Tuapejat, according to Lahmudin, heads of the local disaster Management Agency, who, like many Indonesians, uses only a single name. Ten passengers, including three children and a local parliament member, clung to the wreckage and were found on Guluk Guluk beach, while the other was found near the village of Matobe, according to Mentawai Islands district chief, Rinto Wardana. Seven, including the two crew members, had managed to reach the Mapinang fishing hamlet, after swimming for hours in the choppy waters, to seek help, Wardana said, adding they survived thanks to their ability to swim. All survivors were transported to Tuapejat, where their families had been waiting for news. An investigation is underway, "but survivors said the boat was hit by high waves in a sudden storm," Lahmudin said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Get ₹2Cr life cover@ ₹700 p.m. ICICI Pru Life Insurance Plan Get Quote Undo A rescue ship and an inflatable boat had been deployed for the search, with the assistance of local fishermen and residents, said Rudi, the local search and rescue agency chief who also goes by a single name. Videos released by the National Search and Rescue Agency showed the operation taking place overnight in rough seas as rain fell. Wardana praised the quick response of the joint search and rescue team and community, vowing to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of shipping safety procedures, especially during extreme weather seasons. He also urged boat operators to always pay attention to weather forecast information. Indonesia is an archipelago of more than 17,000 islands where ferries are a common method of travel. Accidents occur regularly, with weak safety enforcement often blamed. A ferry sank near Indonesia's resort island of Bali early this month, leaving at least 18 dead and 17 missing after a two-week search operation that involved more than 1,000 rescuers, three navy ships, 15 boats, a helicopter and divers. The search operation officially closed Monday.
